Spice Girls will love the new one Mercedes-Benz CLEbecause it’s a perfect example of what happens when two become one. The car now functions as a two-door version of both the C-Class and E-Class rather than separate coupes, leaving a lot of heavy lifting to satisfy fans of the earlier model.

Former President Donald Trump, who has been indicted four times, has successfully sold white Christian nostalgia, racism and xenophobia to his base.

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates started a podcast and posted a pretty scoop earlier this month: an interview with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. This is a surprisingly informative discussion about the implications of the speed of AI development. And it also includes specific predictions for the future by two people who are very close to the work being done today. Most of the recordings were made before Altman was temporarily laid off from the company, but some of the recordings include footage of Gates checking in with Altman after he returned. OpenAI CEO says: It’s a very exciting time,” the team…

These two staffing companies place employees in a variety of hospitality positions, including servers, bartenders, line cooks and prep cooks, and dishwashers.

Factors that drive that determination include the degree of control the employer exercises over the person and the degree to which the person’s job is the employer’s primary job. In contrast, an…

It doesn’t take much to imagine a world where deepfakes can be used to authentically imitate politicians’ voices and fabricate scandals that could sway elections. It’s already here.

The same generative AI that can disguise current events can also disguise past events. While new content may be protected by built-in systems,…
